Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Illinois River

My mother and I stayed at Mara's for mom's weekend at Knox college. It is close to campus! Super cute, cozy home🥰 Would recommend to anyone!

This place was great. We needed a place with a backyard and that allowed pets and we could have asked for a better fit. Our dogs loved it and Rebecca was very accommodating with our schedule. Nice quiet neighborhood and close to a lot of stores we needed to go to during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Had a very comfortable stay at this home. It was very clean and had everything you needed. The fenced in yard was great for pups. The location is great, and the neighborhood was quiet. Great response time from the hosts. Would definitely stay there again!

This house is such a cute find. Old homes have tons of character and charm and this one definitely fits that bill. It’s in a great location to restaurants and cute shopping downtown. Carly was very accommodating and responsive to any questions or concerns. We’ll definitely be staying here again next time we’re in the area!

I loved my stay here! it was so peaceful and serene, loved walking down by the river and getting to meet the hosts pups! Kitchen stocked with every appliance you could need, and good hot water! would definitely stay again.

House was clean and yard was well taken care of. I did not have to worry about my two dogs at all. Neighborhood is super quiet. I did hear traffic but where don't you! Kitchen is well stocked. The little bonus treats she leaves are fantastic she had cold bottles of water& snacks for us, dog water & food bowls, doggy bags and a new toy for them! Plenty of blankets if we needed extra there were plenty of extra! Would recommend 10/10 ♥️♥️

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. There was so much to do and this was the perfect meeting place for three couples from different states to have a reunion! We had two small children, ages 4 and 6 and there was so much for them to do. Theresa was so thoughtful in the details for this place. From the art studio to the snacks to coffee, we felt right at home! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we can’t wait to come back!!

We had a great stay! We were in town visiting my daughter at U of I. The house was beautiful, peaceful, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

The Poolhouse is my new favorite getaway outside of Saint Louis! The location is quiet/secluded on ten beautiful acres and we felt like were in the middle of the nowhere with no neighbors. The poolhouse itself is very modern, comfortable, and has all the amenities needed for a several night stay (great heating/cooling, heated pool, beautiful showers, big screen TVs, comfortable beds). The host is very responsive, professional, and even accommodated an early check in time for us. I wish we could have stayed an extra night! Absolutely recommend a multi day stay here.

Kim is absolutely a miracle to work with. She is the most attentive and responsive host and we couldn’t be more grateful!!

Beautiful views, great layout, and extremely dog friendly with nice touches make this place stand out! Very close to all the state parks in the area, but there’s plenty to do on site as well. Check in was seamless, we had clear instructions throughout, and the place was perfect!

It was a great stay for me and my son and his wife and my two grandsons. The boys loved all the games and us adults really liked the pool table. Didn't get to enjoy the pool while we were there cause it was too early in the season, but all in all a really nice place to relax. It's got everything you need there minus the food of course.Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

Renee was a great host with quick response time and provided added resources for what shelbyville had to offer. The house exceeded our expectations and we appreciated all the amenities that the house had to offer- will be recommending to other organizations to use for retreats!

I will definitely be back! Shari’s place was clean, comfortable, and spacious. I have family in the Bushnell, New Philadelphia/Marietta, Macomb, and Colchester. This place just makes sense for my family and myself. Thanks Shari!

Our family of 16 stayed and had a terrific time, so much for the kids to do. Among the pool and hot tub the indoor swings and bunks with slide were a bonus that the kids could not get enough of. Abundance of sleeping room and plenty of bathrooms with ample amount of space. The upgrades in the movie room with bedroom/bath were gorgeous. Our family movie night felt like being right at the show but the children and adults could cuddle up. Everyone listened to their favorite genre of music on the rockn surround sound system. We had fun playing kick ball and an Easter egg hunt in the enormous front lawn. Can not say enough about the space at this place. We were able to prepare our own buffet style meals in the large kitchen/dining area and the french vanilla Cappuccino machine they provided was a hit. Sean was a super friendly host!! Memories made and so so much more fun than staying at a hotel in separate hotel rooms.

This was a very comfortable place for my group. We were in town for only two nights for a family get together, and we travel a 12 hour drive one way, so it's important to us to have ease of use and comfort. Jackie was very gracious and checked in to make sure we were happy. Thank you!

Lovely tiny home that is actually very comfortable for 3 adults. We each had our own sleeping space.

Great price for a whole house, and you won’t find a hotel closer to campus. Wish we could stay longer, lots of little bonuses and nice amenities.

The listing doesn’t do this place justice. It was so very very clean, well appointed including an iron and ironing board which wasnt mentioned in the listing. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Plenty of hot water and more than enough bath towels and wash cloths. Shower gels and shampoos provided. Well appointed kitchen and freezer full of ice. The bed was so comfortable I overslept every morning. Super easy check in and out. I’m going to mention again the cleanliness of the place - on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 20. I highly recommend this place.

Lisa's place was nice very comfortable would definitely stay there again

Enjoyed my stay. The home is spacious and nicely decorated. Comfortable and close to restaurants and stores. Kelly and Luis are great hosts.

As an avid traveler I have stayed at many Air B&B's in the US as well as rentals in other countries. I can easily say this rental and Tori specifically as a host was one of my best experiences. It would be an understatement to say that Tori thought about everything... She really did. First the house was very charming in a residential community. It really is the reason why I prefer Air B&B's over hotels because of the character many of the homes provide. This was full of it; from the outside beautiful upkeep to the original hardwood floors to the old fashioned bathroom. The house was extremely clean. The towels even smelled amazing!!! We used the kitchen and it worked perfectly for our needs. Beds were comfortable. The backyard was perfect for our dog. The grill was clean and functional. There literally was nothing amiss or out of order. I would highly recommend Tori's place in Urbana. The neighborhood has plenty of real life charm and are easy to walk about.Two thumbs up!!

Thank you, Julie. We enjoyed our stay!

We had another great stay at Whitt’s End. We find this location to be perfect for family holidays in the area. We love being able to bring our elderly dog with us instead of sending her to a kennel. Thank you!
